She has been doing postdoctoral research training at the University of Dundee, Wake Forest University School of Medicine (USA), and Boston University and MIT (USA). Her work entails mathematical modeling and computer simulation studies of biological and medical processes such as chick embryo gastrulation, wound healing, and cell migration; the last one being the main mechanism of cancer invasion and also her main research interest. She has presented her research worldwide. In 2010 she was awarded a Kartini Award by Kartini magazine and the first lady of Indonesia for her work and research.
